Vijay Deverakonda defends Sandeep Reddy Vanga; says, “Maybe he was in a relationship where they hit each other”

Vijay Deverakonda is currently busy promoting his movie ‘Dear Comrade’ and he was in Mumbai to promote his movie. During his interview with Film Companion, Vijay spoke at length about his upcoming movie, Bollywood aspirations and on the criticism ‘Kabir Singh’ (‘Arjun Reddy’s Hindi remake) faced.

On the controversy, Vijay said, “The kind of criticism ‘Kabir Singh’ received was slightly different. I got some of this criticism but it wasn’t as articulate. But I’m okay with it. It’s completely okay to have a problem with a character like Arjun.”

Sandeep has faced a lot of flak for his comment during his earlier interview in Film Companion. He said,“When you are deeply in love and deeply connected to a woman (and vice versa), if you don’t have the liberty of slapping each other, then I don’t see anything there.”

Reacting to the comment, the ‘Arjun Reddy’actor said, “I completely understand him and I completely understand the people who have an issue with it (Vanga’s statement). But none of us is wanting to listen to what he wants to say. Maybe, Sandeep has probably been in a relationship where he loved someone so much that they were intimate as and when they wanted or they abused each other as and they wanted or maybe they hit each other, but they loved each other and they were happy.”
